Also make sure you're not using rain-x or equiv. near the edges of the glass.

My dealer warned me against greasing the seals that run above the door as it will cause grease to get on the window, then transferred onto the seals at the bottom of the glass, and then you'll never get shut of it. Seemed like good advice to me...

Is the water coming in via the front roof seal or the side glass seals?

hail stones are worse because they don't seem to obey the keep above 40mph rule and just keep smacking you on the face/head...very off putting!!

If one is nervous about chucking the custard all over your seals, one may purchase a lighter duty spray from Halfords, etc.

It seems perfectly effective.

Jamie,

Seems I am having same problem you used to have, did greasing the seal fix it or did the seal need replacing ?

Any help/info on how you resolved the problem would be great.

Regards

Leigh

Everytime I get in my car in the morning I drive off down the road and whenever I take a right turn I get soaked by water coming in from the top right corner of the window, the rubber seals seem to retain water . I could only take left turns I know


Anyone else have this problem?
I got soaked on my way to work this morning, but that's because I cycled 14miles in the rain.
